Fabulous Wedding Ideas For Your Barn Wedding Part 2
A passion for pallets
If someone asks you if you can make use of their old wooden pallets… just says yes! They provide a great way to let your guests know the order of the day – get creative with paints, photographs, fairy lights or other decorations you may already have. It can be a great DIY wedding project with the added bonus that this piece of your theme hasn’t cost a penny.

Centre piece candelabra
Add candles to your tables to complement your venue’s existing style and enhance the glittering effect of any overhead lighting. Candelabras give a super chic and luxurious feel to a barn wedding.
Stylish back drops
Fabric drapes are a simple way to lavish a decadent feel upon any space. Sheer fabrics will retain a breezy feel, while a glittering fabric ramps up the glamour. In larger spaces consider coloured options too, which can be used to frame your top table area.
Flower power
Why not frame the “I do” moment in flowers for a completely perfect memory? A ceremonial arch way looks amazing for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. You can use artificial blooms for an option that is gentler on your budget, and even re-use the archway behind your top table or as a DIY photobooth later in the evening.
Dress it with a flower garland
Take advantage of your venue’s existing features such as Sandhole barn entrance. Trailing flowers and foliage wreaths add a real wow factor as your guests cross the threshold of your venue. Such decor works especially well when the indoor and outdoor space is exclusive to you, giving your guests the entire day to enjoy them.

Love letters
Worn metal with exposed Edison bulbs provides a more modern industrial vibe or choose wooden finishes for a country look. If the word is “love”, then spell it out for your guests. Use giant initials for your ceremony or “Mr & Mrs” for your evening reception area – a versatile wedding feature that is another great photo opp.
True love – It’s a sign
Charmingly hand-written signs provide important info for your guests whether it be letting them know they are in the right place or what to do at the right time. Consider using them to echo sentiments of love and your “happily ever after” around the venue, and to personalise the space.
Grazing tables
This wedding decoration idea is a real feast for the eyes. What could be more tantalising than fresh figs, grapes, pickles, cured meats and a display of cheeses on slates and wooden serving boards. A multitude of cakes can be complemented by pretty linens. Better than a bland buffet – this décor doubles up as dinner and guests will love it!
Flower walls
Trailing flowers, fragrant delphiniums, vines or even artificial petals create a picturesque backdrop for your cake table. Large or small, this versatile feature could liven up the smallest little nook at your venue and provide another space for those wedding selfies.
Evergreen centres
Most florists will be delighted to create a stunning table runner that will also fill your venue with fragrance. Eucalyptus or ferns are popular plant choices, either with or without flowers.
